It's hard to pin down an exact number from the various sources I could find, but consensus puts the number anywhere between 4% and 12% of NPR's funding comes from federal (direct and indirect) sources.

The vast majority of their funding comes from private donations

Musk - who frequently champions his commitment to free speech

LOL

NPR is public funded. Is this a real tweet? Is he that stupid?

I hope these kids understand just how hated they are and how history is going to treat them.

I hope Musk is going to his office every day, because how could he possibly work remotely?

Musk has no clearance, wasn't voted in, is uncredentialed, and unqualified.

The fact that the government is just sitting back and allowing this is disgusting.

All of it to line their pockets with what will be akin to monopoly money once they destroy the country.

Anyone else notice how barely any news sites referenced the egg prices being related to bird flu until after Trump took office?

Yeah, I wrote a fairly popular bot in late 2020 aimed at helping people get gpus instead of scalpers and it managed to help at least a few hundred people. I encouraged everyone to not give in to the scalpers because fuck them.

My 3070 Ti (which I got from a NewEgg lottery) died recently and I replaced it with a 4070 Super from OfferUp for $550 which is a pretty decent upgrade.

Scalpers helped nvidia push the MSRP of GPUs up dramatically. That's what they learned.

The 3080 launched at $699 and scalpers sold it for at least twice that and people ate it up. So, nvidia launched the 4080 for $1,199

That's such garbage. Corporate lobbying should have never been made legal.

These congresspeople don't know what the "representative" in their title means.

 

It looks like each instance wants an instance-specific login, but my federated account is searchable, so I should be able to link it. Problem is, I can't figure out how.

Help me, programming.dev

 

Hey all, I made a Firefox extension (signed by Mozilla) specifically to add Show/Hide Child Comments functionality similar to how RES had it (where the parent comment is still visible).

It's not very useful, but I could use some feedback on tightening up the Javascript. I'm not a JS beginner, but I know I can do better, so any tips are welcome!

EDIT: Also, if anyone has any suggestions for the extension, I'm open to those as well.

Installed yesterday and immediately went ad-free. It's such a beautiful app.

Anyway, question is in the title.

 
 
  1. Thoughts are energy.
  2. Einstein proved that energy is mass.
  3. Expend mass every time you think about stuff in the shower.
 

I'm new myself but took the time to learn the platform. I'm not sure other people will have as much of an interest, so I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea for some of the old hat people to post some tips for people coming over from reddit.
